Take on the umbrella

The WorldCup offered a month of excitement, a lot of heartbreak and one memorable photo. This wasn't a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi but instead of Vladimir Putin with annum fella over his head while the other two heads of state stand in the pouring rain. Of course this is Russia and nobody would expect any less abut the tableau was perfect for a man who has controlled every part of Russian life for a lifetime. If he had gotten a single drop of rain on his coat, somebody was getting cyanide in their corn flakes tomorrow morning like so many other dissidents, journalists and people accused of not bowing down to his every wish.

And tomorrow our president will pay his respects to him and likely bow down to our new communist overlord
